About this listen

In Toast on Toast - part memoir, part "how to act" manual - Steven Toast draws on his vast and varied experiences, providing the reader with an invaluable insight into his journey from school plays to RADA and from "It's a Right Royal Knockout" to the Colony Club.

Along the way he reveals the secrets of his success. He discloses how to brush up on and expand your technical and vocal skills, how to nail a professional voiceover, and how to deal with difficult work experience staff in a recording studio. He also reveals the dangers of typecasting, describes the often ruthless struggle for 'top billing', and shares many awesome nuggets of advice.

The end result is a book that will inspire and educate anyone who wants to tread the floorboards. It will also inform (and entertain) anybody who simply wants to discover what a jobbing actor's life is actually like.

Matt Berry as the irrepressible actor Steven Toast brings his shockingly candid and "autobiography" to life. Berry's performance is brilliantly sustained and hysterically funny. Toast is a wondrous creation. This audiobook is s must for all fans of the CH4 TV series. For large parts of the book I was literally helpless with laughter. I had to switch it off while driving for fear of crashing. Whilst listening with headphones on the train I got funny looks from fellow passengers as tears of laughter rolled down my face. Yes, it really was that funny! I loved it!

Helpless with laughter!

I have never read a book before, and this book is definitely in the top twenty I have ever read. That said Toast is an idiot and a buffoon. His 25 year affair with my wife has at least allowed me to concentrate on my outstanding career as an actor. An actor who has appeared several times on the stage at The Globe. It is often said that a man can only call himself an actor once he has appeared at The Globe. Until recently, Toast had not appeared at The Globe, proving what a loser he is, and even then the fire could not disguise his lack of talent.
Despite this, the book is a cracking rolling tale and I heartily recommend this masterpiece from my good friend.

I actually bought this a couple of years ago, and it had been sitting in my library unlistened to since about a few days ago, as I'd forgotten I'd bought it.
Oh my goodness-I'm a bit of an insomniac, so listen to audiobooks in the wee small hours to pass the time.
I was laughing out loud to Matt Berry's perfect comedic timing and dead pan delivery, and of course his iconic inflections, at 3am.
I only wish the book was longer, so it doesn't have to end!

Absolutely Brilliant!
